Bistro La Provence 234 Esplanade, Brighton, Victoria 3186

"Great restaurant with housemade French dishes and a beautifull indoor design. Staff was friendly and welcoming. I've been a bit disappointed by the shredded confit duck paté due to a lack of seasonning or by the snails in garlic butter parsley. This last one was a re-visited recipe, Which did not have this deep taste as expected. However, the beef cheek Bourguignon with vegetables and the confit duck leg with orange sauce were tasty and delicious. The crêpes Suzette flambee with Grand Marnier was good and well served. Do not recommended this one for those not drinking alcohol, as it is strong."

"Had a lovely family meal here for my brother’s 30th birthday. You’d easily walk by this place without realising how special it is on the inside. A bit pricey but worth it for an occasion. The Crêpes Suzette was very special, definitely getting that again!!"

"From the outside this place looks underwhelming, but inside you’ll find it’s a beautiful hidden gem! Beautiful elegant and spacious dining room with a lovely ambiance. The service was absolutely sensational and never missed a beat, from start to finish. Fantastic food menu- French at its best. Everything was beautifully prepared and presented. The crab croquettes, the confit duck, and chocolate hazelnut pudding were absolutely sensational. Great wine list too. Overall a really wonderful night out - everything was perfection."

"Fantastic food. The quality and taste of food really exceeded my expectations. Everytime was packed with flavour and love. From the gorgeous french escargot that you want to soak up with bread to an amazing fresh mackerel on fennel dish that was one of the best fish dishes I've ever had. The French soup even though sounds simple ended up being a flavour explosion. Lovely atmosphere and really enjoyed our experience. Just take note if you are going for am 8.15pm the restaurant gets quite busy so it may take a bit to get started. Highly recommend dining here if you want to experience high quality flavourful french food."

"Intimate place, perfect to go with your romantic partner. Good menu options, including entrees, mains, desserts and beverage. My partner and I had good dinner experience. Everything was delicious - I have to say that the French soup impressed me a lot and the duck was the best that I’ve ever had. Also, the service is perfect. We had a mistake in the order, however, the waiter was incredible quick and friendly to fix the issue, make us feeling comfortable the hole night. It’s the perfect place to have an excellent dinner and a romantic night."
